Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker is now more solid than ever in Japan. Naked Snake’s latest PSP adventure has been given a release date in its country of origin. The latest Famitsu issue has announced the game’s release as set for March 18, 2010. As for the west, Konami has revealed that Peace Walker will be available in the UK on May 28th 2010. Unfortunately, there is no release date for North America yet. The US will be getting the title in May 2010.

Weirdly enough, the Kojima quote in the press release mentions that “May 27th is when Snake’s story continues.” The 27th is a Thursday, so Peace Walker could be headed to the PS Store a day before the retail release.
